Hyaluronic acid and metallic silver treatment of chronic wounds: healing rate and bacterial load control.

Objective: To confirm the safety and wound healing activity of a topical spray powder containing hyaluronic acid (HA) and metallic silver (Hyalosilver, Fidia Farmaceutici S.p.A.

Spray formulation of silver and hyaluronic acid in the treatment of superficial cutaneous ulcers of different etiopathogenesis: analysis of fifty-four clinical cases.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess a spray formulation containing colloidal silver and hyaluronic acid.

Methods: Patients included in the study were divided in two separate groups: 30 patients had chronic wounds and 24 patients had superficial traumatic wounds. Applications were performed at intervals of 3-7 days, depending upon lesions characteristics.

Renal volume assessment with 3D ultrasound.

Purpose: This study was undertaken to determine the accuracy of 3D ultrasound (US) in assessing renal volume, with multislice computed tomography (MSCT) considered as the gold standard.

Materials And Methods: Forty-nine patients (30 men, 19 women; age range 30-82 years) underwent abdominal contrast-enhanced MSCT and 3D-US performed with a 3.5-MHz 3D/4D convex-array probe.

Low-fat angiomyolipoma of the liver studied with contrast-enhanced ultrasound and multidetector computed tomography.

We report the case of a 30-year-old woman with persistent pain at the right hypochondrium, relapsing fever, and normal serum tests. Ultrasound showed a hyperechoic inhomogeneous mass; following sulfur hexafluoride injection, uniform enhancement at 14-16 s and rapid wash-out at 26 s was found. Multidetector computed tomography showed an inhomogeneously hypodense mass, with no detectable negative density values, characterized by inhomogeneous enhancement at the arterial phase and wash-out at the portal phase.
